There have been a few steps over the last couple of years. We have been working with the department.
One of the biggest issues that our people used to face is the fact that our people would be closed to our fishery, yet our neighbouring sectors, recreational and commercial, were allowed to target it. Other first nations outside of our area were also allowed to target the same fish that we were not.
Over the years, you can go back and look at how many times the Stó:lõ people were closed off to the fishery, yet all the fisheries around them remained in operation. That started to create a lot of confrontation, because our people were getting frustrated at being blocked out of the waters and not being able to access our food and fish to sustain our people.
